Talia and Giana's Dance Recital

Talia and Giana have both been taking dance this year with the Mundelein Dance Program through the park district.  Talia was in both shows, which made her very excited, and Giana was so excited to finally be able to dance on stage. They both LOVED wearing make up, too! They did a great job!

          

Aunt Stacey and Hailey came to watch too!

Little Mommies!

Having Talia and Giana around is such a blessing!  They are both so helpful (most of the time) and really want to help with the babies.  Talia has been changing diapers and loves to feed them their bottles.  They both jump to help the babies when they whimper and will very quickly shove a pacifier in their mouths.  They will read books to them and read to them too.  The babies are really starting to respond with smiles for them too!  Very sweet!

And here they are wearing coordinating pajamas--such cuties--I am so lucky!

Sweet and Sassy

A few of my friends from my Tuesday playgroup decided to have a great "girl" day at Sweet and Sassy in Oak Brook. The girls got their hair, nails and make up done, and all had a great time! Here are some pics from the day--so cute!

Just had to share the cutest video of the girls singing along with Bieber.

How cute is Giana as she bobs her little head???!!! And he is now Talia's boyfriend???!!!

I love them so much!

Spray Park Fun

The girls love going to the spray park. There are 2 pretty close to where we live. We like to go to the one that is next to the softball field where Kenny plays...and we like to go there on Tuesday afternoons and stay until Kenny's game. Here are some cute pics of the girls:

Swim Class

The girls have been taking swimming class (well Talia has never stopped since last summer, but this was Giana's first class) since the spring and both are doing really well. Talia is a "ray" and was initially scared about going into the big pool, but now she is able to swim all the way down to the deep end! She is so proud of herself.

Giana needed a little coaxing to get into the pool, but is doing well paddling her arms and kicking her legs.

We are trying to get her to put her head in the water, which is not easy for her to do.

Good job Girls!

St. Patrick's Day

I tried to get them both to smile...and this is what I got! Hope that you had a great day!

Still Sweet

here are some more pics of the girls so sweet and happy--

Sweet Sisters

sometimes the girls are very sweet to each other...and sometimes they are just sweet!

Hens Holiday Party

Our Thursday "Hens" playgroup had our annual holiday party on Thurs. Dec 9. The girls got dressed up in their super cute matching Hanna Anderson play dresses (and Giana in her new super cute hat) and off we went to the Lipani house.

The girls brought presents for Santa to bring to other kids who do not have enough presents this year and Talia happily talked to him about what she wanted for Christmas (again). At least Giana didn't cry this time. :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! We can't wait!

Sweet Sisters

Look how sweet my girls are!
